Zvesda - The Black Pearl

Here is a pictorial build log of the Zvesda Black Pearl (1/72nd scale styrene). I worked this for about a year, 2013/2014 time....Really liked the kit - struggled with the rigging and the lower deck cannons - will go into that later - Here is the first leg of the build...

She looks amazing. I'm not generally a lover of sailing ships done in plastic, but you've certainly brought of the best in the kit. The paintwork on the sails is outstanding. Especially the shading and the patches.
